The Power of Self-Tuning Access Networks

by admin

Article first published 16th February 2022, updated 31st January 2024. 5G networks will use higher frequency bands, which require the deployment of more cell sites and antennas to cover the same geographical areas as 4G while existing antennas must upgrade to denser antenna arrays. On the side of fixed access networks, the rise of Remote

The Growing Market for Tunable Lasers

by admin

The world is moving towards tunability. The combination of tunable lasers and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) allows datacom and telecom industries to expand their network capacity without increasing their existing fiber infrastructure. Furthermore, the miniaturization of coherent technology into pluggable transceiver modules has finally enabled the widespread implementation of IP over DWDM solutions.  Self-tuning algorithms have also

Thanks to the incredible progress in energy-saving technologies (hyperscale datacenters, photonic and electronic integration), the exponential growth in data traffic for the next ten years will not lead to an exponential growth in ICT energy consumption. A 2020 study by Huawei Technologies estimates that from 2020 to 2030, global data traffic will grow 14 times while ICT

Remote PHY, a new architecture for fixed access networks

by admin

Cable networks, just like any other telecom network in the world, had to adapt to the rising demand for data. During the 90s and 00s, these requirements led to the rise of hybrid fiber-coaxial (HFC) networks: optical fibers travel from the cable company hub and terminate into optical nodes, while coaxial cable connects the last

Solving the Carrier’s Dilemma with Optical Systems-On-Chip

by admin

In the coming decade, the network providers and countries with the most extensive installed base of optical fiber with the highest capacity will dominate the access network domain. This scale-up process will allow optical networks to handle the ongoing exponential increase in the global demand for data. To cope with this need, providers have long
